Usage

• createperson

Create an account, with the following parameters :

-u <uid> : the new user's uid
-n <first name> : the new user's first name
-s <last name> : the new user's uid
-p (optional) : give the user the `posixAccount` object class, and the necessary attributes. 
This is necessary if the user needs to be added to posix Groups
-g <group1[,group2,group3,...]> : add the user the to one or more groups 
(separated by commas when more than one group is given)

• removeperson

Removes a user from the directory, including the corresponding posixGroup if the user is a posixAccount. The -y option can be given as the first argument to bypass the confirmation prompt

./removeperson [-y] uid

• creategroup

Since adding the first user needs to be done at the creation of the group, a valid uid needs to be passed to the script.

The optional -p option can be given as the first argument. It indicates that the group to be created is a posixGroup. Therefore, the user also needs to be a posixAccount.

./creategroup [-p] uid group

• addtogroups and removefromgroups

Add or remove an user to/from one or more groups. User's uid must be the first argument. Posix and non-posix groups can be given, but if posixGroups are given, the user needs to be a posixAccount.

./addtogroups uid group1 [group2, group3,  ...]
./removefromgroups uid group1 [group2, group3,  ...]

• person2posix

Give the user the posixAccount object class, and the necessary attributes, and create a posixGroup with the same uid and number as the user.

./person2posix uid

• addmailalias

Add a new mail alias for a user. User needs to be in the mail group

./addmailalias uid alias@example.com
